Report FrameMaker 9 plugin compatibilities here

[Scott Prentice]

In general, plugins will be upward compatible .. and many will work just 
fine in FM9. Give it a try and see how it goes.  :)

FM9 does introduce a twist that may cause hiccups for some plugins that 
work with structured applications .. the default location for the 
structapps.fm file is now in the "user" Application Data area 
(C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application 
Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\structapps.fm).

We (Leximation) have tested most of our plugins with FM9 and they seem 
to work fine. We do plan to officially update all of them for FM9 
(eventually). DITA-FMx will be our first plugin to update for FM9, and 
hope to have a beta of DITA-FMx 1.1 for FM9 available within a month.

Cheers,

...scott
